It's like the term Pythonic in Python - I think pixmaps are unboxonic, if I may use that term. Sure they look great, but if you want 500 pixmaps you might as well go and use litestep. Think about what havoc this causes to styles and repositories like boxshots?

That was the same reason I had for choosing Blackbox doc. I still have more interest in the next NEB than in doing anything with bitmaps but there are those in the community that have been wanting bitmap support (and it's not just for the window frames btw), so what is good for the community, I applaud. To those concerned of it using a lot of resources, it seems you overlooked the second sentence in tao's original post: 'All the drawing code is written in Assembler to keep the prog small and fast.'

Unfortunately not many people will buy into that, doctorfrog. No matter how much us real folks beg for no pixmaps involved with this shell, all the litestep kiddies will tease and some new face will come along and transform blackbox into bloatbox. *sigh*

I'm mainly glad to see development of any kind progressing on this great shell. Me, I latched onto bb specifically *because* it didn't skin with bitmaps.

hmm strange, the original skinning prototype had bitmap skinning, but everyone seemed to think it was too much bloat at the time, so it was taken out. I for one would be happy to see that feature return.

Akselii, also to answer your last question...most plugins have an alwaysontop setting. BBInterface allows you to set each control individually. CTRL+Right click a control and go to Window Options. You will see the Always Ontop boolean. You could also open the bbinterface.rc and find your saved control and edit it's alwaysontop value manually.

The fact that this is all up and still running is remarkable. Can't wait to try this on my pc

Yknow, i found it really amusing to see the 32 bit version working on 98SE. i also find it just as hilarious that this still runs even on windows 11 machines.

Pitkon: I can't add comments either; I click submit and it just flips to only showing the sidebar, then doesn't proceed from there. Brian?

Hi again, friends! So good to c u again, Brian. Karl, the screenies function wasn't broken, just needed approval. I AM moderating, from time to time :) How do u think those newer screenies got up in the first place? :D

uploading works, but uploads always require approval and I don't think any of us are as actively moderating as we did in the past ;-)
